Four years after the events of Liquid Ocelot's Insurrection, Raiden has been contracted for VIP protection, military training, and other duties by a Private Military Company (PMC): Maverick Security Consulting, Inc., an American PMC based in Colorado, in a developing country piecing itself back together after a bloody civil war.

Raiden largely did this to support his family without having to return to direct combat situations. Raiden is protecting a VIP, when they are attacked by a cyborg organization led by the Cyborg Ninja Samuel Rodrigues, which eventually leaves Raiden completely defeated. Raiden is reconstructed by his PMC, and his search for Sam and the company he's working for, Desperado Enforcement LLC., drives him into a quest for vengeance.

Rating: 5/5Platinum does it again!

This review is from: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PlayStation 3

Pros: Lots of things to unlock and keep you busy for a while.Cut as you will! Tons of different ways to play and raises the bar for the ninja action genre.Continues and fleshes out more of the Metal Gear lore, the parts where the Snakes are not involved.Amazing framerate for 95% of the time.Extra VR missions and rich future DLC to keep you busy if you like.

Cons: Sure, the stealth is weak but that isn't what this game is about. I suppose that will be a con for many people. This is Metal Gear Rising, not Metal Gear Solid. Keep that in mind.Environments can feel a little flat/bland, I feel they had to keep the FPS near 60 and sacrifice some interesting land.Controls are not explaiend well enough and tutorials are not obvious but are there, seek help anywhere you can in the menus and codec calls.

Other Thoughts: To me, this is the definition of a $60 game. This is also the most metal game I have probably ever played, it rocks super hard. A close competitor would be GoW III (newegg auto-censor bot won't let me write the full title of the game that Kratos is in, let's try Gord of War III). Platinum obviously worked hard on this engine and they pushed the limits of what the PS3 can do. This game raises the bar for its genre, hopefully other developers will take notice and reply in kind. This game is the logical evolution of the PS2 Shinboi game.
